This is sort of symptomatic of a transition I think it taking place in the world, rioting and rabble rousing is less along political lines and more to satisfy emotional impulses or address disatisfaction.

I saw this earlier on a news aggregate. I was shocked to learn that 13yo girls run Sweden.

“Some people will tell you that slow is good – but I’m here to tell you that fast is better. I’ve always believed this, in spite of the trouble it’s caused me. Being shot out of a cannon will always be better than being squeezed out of a tube. That is why God made fast motorcycles, Bubba…”

Wow. This probably got out of hand so easily because police didn't take these girls seriously in the beginning, which likely pissed off the already hormonal teenagers more. What a nightmare. Have they started investigating who was sending info to the instagram account?

Well there could be some child protection angles to this but really this is going to have to be a big wake up call to the growing population about who you can trust and what way rumours operate and live forever in the ages of the internet.

It'd be ironic if the open society of the internet lead to a revival of puritanism because of this type of thing. I know for sure that a lot of my associates at uni used to avoid casual, particularly drunken, encounters because of the logic "every fecker has a camera now" and that was just the innovation of phone cameras.

the internet is beginning to invade reality more and more each day. who knows what shall come of this

For all that we have done, as a civilization, as individuals, the universe is not stable, and nor is any single thing within it. Stars consume themselves, the universe itself rushes apart, and we ourselves are composed of matter in constant flux. Colonies of cells in temporary alliance, replicating and decaying and housed within, an incandescent cloud of electrical impulses. This is reality, this is self knowledge, and the perception of it will, of course, make you dizzy.
